“u0026quot;The World Trade Center: Rise and Fall of an American Iconu0026quot; is pretty good: it discusses the planning, construction, collapse, recovery, and cleanup of the buildings. Curiously, it never mentions that many people found the buildings ugly, or that the WTC had low occupancy during its early years due to a glut of office space downtown.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI was shocked at one highly inaccurate statement made in the video: that after the 1993 bombing of the WTC u0026quot;no one dreamed that some 8 1/2 years later, (al Qaeda) would bring death, not from a bomb in the basement, but from the skyu0026quot;.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWrong.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn 1995, people within the White House knew of al Qaeda plans to hijack jetliners in Manila and blow them up over the pacific (see Richard Clarkeu0026#39;s book u0026quot;Against All Enemiesu0026quot;, or u0026quot;9/11 Commission Reportu0026quot; page 147). And in the summer of 2001, an FBI agent in Minneapolis communicated to headquarters that they were worried that Moussaoui might be part of an al Qaeda plot to crash an airplane into the World Trade Center (9/11 Report, page 275).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWriters of this documentary: you should have done your homework!”
